Strengths: Looks good, good price, seems like a solid stem. (can't comment on flexibility since most of my flex is in the bars)

Weaknesses: Should have maybe bought a sorter stem ....... uh, clashes with styling of an older bike? :-)

Bottom Line:

I bought this stem to go with my new Stoker bar because I wanted a two-bolt stem in case I ever want to set up a set of drop bars for track or long-distance use, as well as wanting something longer and taller than my stock stem. Turns out my old stem wouldn't fit the new bar anyway. www.ultimateridingsports.com had the best price I could find, so I bought it.

Weaknesses: too flexy. I think I could snap it pretty easily if I pushed it.

Bottom Line:

I have an H2O quill on my old road bike and the new frame I just got has the threadless version. I can't comment on the threadless, but the quill is WAY to flexy. I am a pretty strong rider and I get scared when I pull on the bar it flexes so much. I would not reccomend this stem because of this.
